Re-election

Mrs Barbara Jones (Chair of Governors)     

 I have been a Governor for many years, seeing many changes including the building of the present School.

EYFS is my special interest as I firmly believe that creating an environment that encourages, creates an enquiringly mind  and offers new opportunities is important, as Church Lane does.

My name is Christine James and have been a Governor at Church Lane Primary and Nursery School since Jan 2009. 

I spent 17 years in the Armed Forces and then joined the Civil Service where I had experience in Property Management and Finance.  

I started as a Parent Governor, and then when my children left Church Lane, to move to Secondary School, I became a co-opted Governor.  My Responsibilities are School Council and I chair the School Development Committee and sit on the Finance/Resource Committee.  I am retired, still a carer for my youngest son who is still at Secondary School.  I volunteer at Church Lane two afternoons a week reading with some of the children.

Mrs Melanie Porter (Parent Governor/ Safeguarding and KS1 Governor)

I have been a governor at Church Lane school for over 5 years. I have had 4 children attend the school, my youngest who still attends is in yr 4 ,and my eldest being 25, which means i have been in and out of the school gates for over 20 yrs! . As a governor my main focuses are safe guarding, early years and online safety, (which often means lots of reading) I am very proud to be part of Church Lane community and have seen it grow over the years into an excellent school.

I have spent my whole career working for Lincolnshire County Council starting my career many years ago teaching dance and drama in a large social education centre in Lincoln for people with a learning disability, which i did for 16 yrs. When my third child came along i decided i needed to work nearer to home and  now manage the  Sleaford day opportunities service for people with a learning disability. I feel very fortunate to of always done a job that i love, and hopefully bring some my experience i have gained over the years to my role as a governor.
